What is recorded here

Recorded by ADS in 2006 and described as a platform measuring in width 1.3m, Depth 0.4m, Length unknown. This platform was not dated. Described by Whitaker (2006, 68) as ‘this sighting was located 4m south of TI-LTNO07a and was visible on the field surface and in the drain face. It was composed of a series of irregularly and sparsely laid roundwoods and brushwoods. The elements were in a moderate state of preservation and retained some bark, but those exposed in the drain face were somewhat dried. All elements were orientated north-south and measured between 0.07 and 0.45m in exposed length and 0.02 to 0.07m in diameter. The peat was composed of poorly humified Sphagnum peat with occasional Eriophorum and Calluna inclusions’. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 August 2012
